While I cannot fault them for crossing the lines. You do what you have too when you have a family to feed. But there is also the long term they have to think about. They are protected now but after the strike they can lose their WGA membership - even if they take the financial core thing. The WGA can choose after the strike is over to cancel the membership of any writer that does this. If they do they will no longer be able to work for the daytime shows because they can only hire writers who are members of the WGA. So yes they are protected now but they are taking a big risk that they could lose their job later.
